OT - prevent brokerage from shorting:

Speaking of marginable, I could easily change my account from margin to cash-only. While that would not be good for me in a bull market, I think it might be good for the long investors in a bear market if everyone did that during a pullback, so brokerages could not loan out our shares for shorting. Then after the market is ready to rock again people could just change their accounts back to margin accounts. I wonder how much effect that would have on short volume if everyone did it?
